Free agent frenzy!

I would love for the jazz to get rid of bell and use every cent they have to go after Aaron Brooks. Burks/Hayward drive to the basket, dish it out to Brooks for the three.

Isn't Brooks in China and cannot play until like the end of March?

Gasol looked great with Randolph drawing double and triple teams. On his own, not so much.

A Favors/Gasol combo doesn't make your mouth water? Offensively it is not a top tier combo, but they would clear up a lot of the defensive mistakes from the other guys. It would be a nasty combo.

You may be thinking of Wilson Chandler who doesn't have an opt-out in his Chinese-league deal.

I'm just as happy with a Favors/Kanter or Favors/Jefferson combo. Happier, actually.

I still think favors is going to be our future center and I would rather have money to spend on our young guys than to tie it up in gasol!

I am so happy that this thing is nearing an end. Here is a little tidbit about the Jazz plans are for the FA market.

According to Brian T Smith

"Utah’s coaches have been meeting for months in preparation of the lockout ending and the 2011-12 season finally starting. Corbin has evaluated the pros and cons of changing Utah’s playing style, and the team already has free agents targeted."

I really like Marc but how much of Gasol's success and/or the team's was due to Randolph eating up space?

The part were it says "Where are The Jazz" gives a good idea what the Jazz can do. Basically says Utah has 10 million dollars to spend before hitting luxury tax. They could amnesty someone like Okur, and make that 20 million for 3-5 players.

So if we amnesty Okur, we could sign a 9 million a year FA.
